EMAX drumkit to use in VU950
VU950 is a music production app that emulates the behavior and sound of early digital samplers. It focuses on recreating the sonic characteristics that arose from the limitations of vintage hardware, offering a unique approach to sound design and sequencing.
VU950 intentionally recreates the internal workings of early samplers, including resolution limits, imperfect filtering, and non-linear stages. These are treated as musical characteristics rather than flaws, resulting in a distinct 'early-digital' density and tone.
Key features include adjustable sample rates (7.5 kHz to 48 kHz), reduced bit depth processing, user-adjustable anti-aliasing, a dedicated input gain stage with drive, multiple filtering stages, and non-linear processing throughout the signal path.
Yes, VU950 features MIDI-controllable parameters, allowing for hands-on workflow and integration with external MIDI controllers. This enables real-time manipulation of various sound-shaping aspects.
In standalone mode, VU950 provides 8 tracks, supports hosting AUv3 apps, includes a built-in multi-sampler (VU20) and MIDI device (VUMIDI), a mixer with 4 inserts per track, 17 built-in effects, and the ability to use 4 AUv3 effects per channel.
